IRE vs ZIM Dream11 2nd ODI | Ireland vs Zimbabwe

Ireland and Zimbabwe will be squaring off in the second ODI which will be played at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast. The first match of the series which was played at the Bready Cricket Club in Northern Ireland which was comprehensively won by Ireland by 6 wickets courtesy a sublime ton from Andrew Balbirnie.

Zimbabwe’s approach towards the match was really clumsy which kept them at bay for the most part of the match and eventually, Zimbabwe couldn’t do much. With only two more ODIs to play, this is definitely a do-or-die situation for Zimbabwe as they need to win this encounter to stay alive in the series.
